"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Dive, Dive, Dive. Hit your burners pilot.
 Definately one of the most original starts I've seen for a mission.

La la la la la, flying around with that Vasudan Corvette. No way you're gonna lose this mission, cause no bomber's gonna get through the Corvette AND you. Suddenly "Massive jump point forming!" Ravana blasts the corvette with it's LReds and leaves you stunned as it jumps out. That scared the crap outta me.

Watching Big C get blasted by that last sathanas and wondering why it isn't returning fire....
(blames terran engineering)

 
Moments that made you say "Oh cooooool..."
Firing a pair of ASMs at the Chinese cruiser 'Badi Dea', pulling up and looking behind me to see not only my two missiles, but the other six from the rest of the formation streaking towards the target...

Guess you just have to have been there
(being a "little" mental helps too)

Hmmm...

*Chasing a pair of Seraphim bombers as they flew in towards the GTD Panache(Orion), then watching an Aeolus fly out from behind it, open fire with both main beams at the Ravana behind me and the bombers, and seeing the beams go by me on either side, cutting one of the bombers in half.  

*The first nebula mission.

*Capella going Nova(of course)  

*Destroying the Knossos... then watching the Sathanas jump in anyway.

*The Boedacia station exploding and leaving behind the Iceni.


FS1:

*The Lucifer jumping in on "Playing Judas"

*Escorting those transports past the Lucifer's blockade

*Dogfighting that first Scorpion

Derelict had a bunch of those wonderfull "OH, **** " moments, one of the most memorable was when the Narlathotep transmited that Shivan signal and the other shivans jumped in. and then there was the mission were that knossos jumped in, at first thought I thought something had gone nova.

The moment when the Shivans first appeared in mission in FS1. I had completely forgotten about them (and the intro) so it seemed a major surprise (to me).

And the moment I managed to play FS2 Demo at a respectiable screen rate (my computer initially had set it to 32-bit colour and 1024*756 (or whatever the resolution was). Then I realised I just had to buy the game.
